He added that the other awards claimed highlights "the good value products Santander has offered over the past year", as well as the "quality of service provided to mortgage brokers ".

Steve Pateman, head of UK corporate and commercial banking at Santander, commented: "We are delighted to have been awarded ‘Business Bank of the Year' for the third consecutive year."

"Winning four categories at this year's Business Moneyfacts awards highlights Santander's commitment to the SME market."
